Hi Kimathi - thank you for your July 4th article, but the information on the All-American Celebration at the Woodruff Arts Center is incorrect. The All-American Celebration by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra will take place at the ASO's summer home at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre at Encore Park in Alpharetta. Please make this correction. Thank you!

Hello, Kimathi -- It's been several years since I met you at CAU and NABJ events. It's great to see that you're still in the business.
I write for Douglasville Patch. Let's stay in touch!

Good morning Kimathi. This is Brian Roberson from Black Biz Hookup. I believe there was some miscommunication. The part of the article you did that reads "The amount will depend on the hookup and will not exceed 8 percent, Roberson said." is incorrect. Our percentage is greater than 8 percent, but it is lower than the industry standard. Please change this to read "The amount will depend on the hookup and is lower than the industry standard, Roberson said."

Thank you
